Property's Favourite Review
The house is beautiful and perfectly located. The rooms are spacious and the beds are super comfy. We loved the separate lounge and dining room inside the house. The kitchen is spacious and a 'lekker' gathering place while making meals. The pool is beautiful. The deck area is spacious, all the chairs are comfortable and the cast iron fire cauldron amplifies the ambience. One special house! Kari and staff were very friendly in welcoming us with drinks and champagne on our arrival. Our Game Ranger, Izaan was a super star and very caring. Our stay was truly memorable. Josh, Tess and friends

We were lucky enough to spend 3 nights over Christmas at the lodge, 1 of those nights we celebrated our wedding with close family and friends. We booked out the whole lodge on a self catering basis, although staff were there to help us wherever we needed. Everything about Nyala is just magic! We were welcomed with open arms by friendly and warm staff, all of which were so eager and happy to help during the entirety of our stay. Mangers, Nicki and Dave, were just out of this world! I don’t think our wedding could have happened without them. They went out of their way for us from beginning to end. Izaan, our guide, was just fabulous! She was so lovely, so knowledgable, flexible and helpful. Our game drives were incredibly entertaining with her and we were so lucky to share some incredible animal encounters. We will DEFINITELY be back!…

Such an amazing review with very kind words, thank you so much. So pleased you had 3 wonderful nights with us and that your wedding day and Christmas was made so special. Nyala really is a little oasis in the middle of the big 5 bush and a very unique camp indeed, ideal for those small family get togethers and special events, with staff that do try and go the extra mile for all its guests. We wish you and Worack the very best of luck and big congratulations and hope to see you again ,maybe as an anniversary stay ! Regards Nicki

We were able to spend several nights at Nyala and we loved it. The food, staff and game viewing were all excellent. The lodge itself is an oasis in the middle of the winter. Saw plenty of game, including the Big 5 in one afternoon. also saw the tusker Ezluwini. The rondavals were spacious and the bathrooms were huge with double sinks and both indoor and outdoor showers. Sheets pillows and towels all wonderful. Would happily return any time.

We stayed at Nyala for a week in November, I can genuinely say this was my favourite ever holiday. The staff, food, and rooms are all perfect. We got engaged while we were there, and the staff made the whole experience even more perfect. Nikki our tour guide, was the most knowledgeable and wonderful person - she felt like a friend by the end of the week! Having one tour guide for the whole week was amazing, she went out of our way to make sure we had the best experience we could. We managed to see 4 of the big five, including lions mating just 10 minutes away from camp which was the perfect end to our trip. When we come back to South Africa we'll definitely visit again! Thank you all for the most amazing experience!
